RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROCKNROLL WILLOW (5) is a 3yo filly taking on more experienced horses, but she deserves to be a short-priced favourite on what she’s shown in her past two seasons. After resuming this campaign with two strong wins, connections raced her in a heat of the NSW Oaks where she was safely held, but to be fair they ran scintillating time. The lead is no guarantee, but she can still be too good. EYENEEDTHAT (3) is another 3yo with ability, and he too has been racing up in grade. He’s produced forgive runs his past few starts when failing as favourite but can bounce back here with the right run. YAPPER (4) is first up without a trial, but he’s a speedy beginner and could map well and provide value for the exotics. NUGGET ROGERS (7) has ability, but it’s been a while since he’s put two runs together, although he has place claims. BACK: ROCKNROLL WILLOW (5) – 3 units (win)
